"It’s important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. We’re trying to build for the long haul.” -Dell Demps

Going into Thursday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, the New Orleans Hornets have won the rebounding battle against their first four preseason opponents. But Coach Monty Williams says he wants his guards to provide a little more help to increase their overall average.

"We have been really emphasizing guard rebounding, so I would like to see our guards be in that three-to-five range every night,'' Williams said. "We would like that to continue because good rebounding teams fare well.

While reading that, I thought about how exceptional rebounding Rivers has been this far. I would say thats a really underrated part of his game that didnt garner tons of attention. His athleticism is so deceptive, I really enjoy watching it.

Rivers has been trying real hard to play within the flow of the game. People gotta be patient with him. He's doing a lot of things that are out of his element. It's going to take time before he'll put it all together. His rebounding has been a pleasant surprise.
